Is it necessary to have steel / metal framing in a replacement vinyl window?
Q. We're getting ready to replace our existing aluminum windows. Two different company's have told us that it is better to have a vinyl replacement window which has a steel framing in the structure so the vinyl can't buckle over time (i.e. Polybau and Window World). Is it really necessary to have this metal framing in the structure or does it depending on the size of the window? We have one very large window, 120" width x 60" height which I would find this to be very important in the long run. If it is recommended, can anyone recommend other brands with great NFRC ratings that have metal framing in the vinyl windows structure besides the two I have already listed? I am in Northern California, so please keep in mind available brands.… [cont.]

Framing a roof for a carport?
Q. I am planning a rather large carport to build over this summer, which will cover my boat and provide two extra parking spots. Total size will be in the neighborhood of 26 feet wide by 30 feet long. I need some pointers on spacing the framing for the rafters - do I use 16 inch on center or can I go to 24 inch OC since it's a carport?

A. What the hell are these people talking about? 26 foot spans? I'd like to see you find a 26' long piece of lumber in any dimension. 2x12 rafters? Is he kidding? You don't use 2x12s for floor joists, for Christ's sake. For a 26' long (deep) shed roof (sloped from front to back in a straight line), you'd need at least one beam running perpendicular to the rafters. If the roof decking is plywood and shingles, you would have to use 2x10s to span 13'. For a lathe and metal roof, you would use 2x8s, both on 16" centers. No matter what size lumber you are using, it will all sag over a 13' span. The lumber will sag under its own weight. If you put in two beams, you're only spanning about 8 1/2 feet; you can use 2x6s on 16" or 2x8s on 24". If… [cont.]

Do you recommend professional inspection of framing for a new construction that is 2 storey?
Q. Hi, we have bought a house in a new community. The house is a week away from completion of framing. Do you recommend professional inspection of the framing?
Asked by kkazb - Sat Jul 25 19:07:31 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Buildings with unique structural features should be checked by the architect or engineer to confirm that they have been built according to the design/load calculations before the structure is covered up. More straightforward buildings are less critical but should still be given an inspection. Simple things like electrical wiring holes that are too close to the edge of a stud put the wire in danger of being penetrated by drywall screws, plumbing holes that are too large could weaken the structure (not usually resulting in failure, but could cause sagging over time which leads to cracks in the plaster or windows that don't operate properly), fire code compliance for chimneys and mechanical, verification that framing meets egress standards… [cont.]

Would it be a lot more expensive to build a house using post & beam or timber framing?
Q. I asked a question before about barn conversions, but it sounds like it could be more trouble than what it would be worth. Although, I still love the look of the post & beam and timber framing. Would the price of materials for post & beam or timber framing be more expensive than materials for stick framing?
Asked by country.girl - Wed Mar 19 09:41:39 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yes, post and beam or timber framing is more expensive and there are limited people who contract to build homes in that style. Assuming you are talking about the inside look, you can still get the look of post and beam if you choose to. It would add some to the cost but not to the extent of a full post and beam house. I would think there are all ready plans with this look available but you may have to spend some time looking for them. Of course you can also hire a someone to do that kind of interior design for you.

The cost of living in Texas isn't as high as in California either so that should be taken in to consideration when looking at the wage differences.

A. I would certain think that it is some type of mold; I certainly wouldn't want it inside my walls. I have never seen it in another home under construction, and I've seen quite a few, as I used to work for a building inspector in Texas. I would not necessarily take the contractors word that "everything is ok." He has nothing to gain by telling you, and everything to lose by having to replace the 2x4s. Talk with someone who sells wood in your area - preferably someone in a lumber yard that's been there a while - and ask what, if any, wood treatment is commonly used in your area. I have a suspicion that if it's normally damp in your area, something should be in use, or the wood should have been pre-treated.

Is there a good website that offers guidance for framing wildlife photos?
Q. I have some great photos of gorillas in Rwanda and other game in Tanzania. I want to enlarge some and frame them but know nothing about choosing good frames. Can you recommend a good website?

A. Take a look at the classified section of the Rangfinder magazine. They have many links to professional supply sites.

What is a good online framing company?
Q. I'm looking for an online framing company, where I can upload my picture, frame and matte finish it. I can do this on art.com, but it's extremely expensive. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

A. I worked at a framing store once and I know that custom framing is not inexpensive any custom framing place that you go to will tell you the same thing. You could try to do it yourself by buying a ready-made mat and frame and assemble it at home. you won't find anything cheaper than this. custom framing has always been expensive, even online.

Where can I get information on framing a single postage stamp?
Q. I know it sounds wacky, but I'm not kidding. The monetary value of the stamp isn't more than it's .37 price (it's a few years old), but it does have some sentimental value.

A. I would just take it somewhere and have a professional do it. If it means a lot to you I wouldn't mess with trying to do it yourself.
